Description

The habanero chili is a close relative of the Scotch Bonnet and both have a healthy balance of lively heat and fruity, tangy flavors. The habanero figures more heavily in the cuisines of Latin America and Tex-Mex, where its lighter heat and smoky, earthy undertones give it more flexibility in a wide variety of meat bean or vegetable dishes, sauces, salsa, and marinades. Has an excellent well-rounded flavor, penetrating pleasant smoky heat, and dark earthy flavors around the quintessential light tang of a good chili. Very versatile and flavorful.
